Hello, their is a little confusion about your answer. Bcz oxidising benzene it will produce Phenol. But if you further oxidised it will produce maleic anhydride. .So it is oxidised for a long time only then maleic anhydride will produce.

Partial Oxidation of benzene ​by V2O5 in presence of air gives phenol while complete oxidation gives Maleic Anhydride.

Oxidation of benzene at about 300°C gives phenol while at 500°C give maleic anhydride or it may also be put up as further oxidising phenol by V2O5 at a higher temperature will yield maleic anhydride!
